Pros

There are flexible job hours.

Cons

You work out of a young girls apartment who’s parents pay the rent. It is a very unprofessional environment and the “founder/CEO” has no idea what she’s doing or how to manage people. Everyone who has worked there has made all the connections and done the work while she has claimed credit. Each employee has not lasted more than a year (there has never been more than 3 employees at a time) and quit because they can’t take the manipulation and texts/calls to retrieve her toilet paper and groceries at all hours. The pay is low, the benefits are nonexistent, and the environment is unprofessional and catty because of her behavior. The job doesn’t qualify you to move forward in your career so it ultimately becomes a waste of time. The “founder” has had no prior work experience so it’s hard to take constant direction from someone who has no qualifications to direct or manage a team.

Pros

- Your teammates will likely be smart, creative, and supportive—because they have to be, in order to survive. - If you want to learn resilience the hard way, this is your bootcamp.

Cons

- Leadership communicates with little regard for professionalism or respect. Feedback is often public, personal, and degrading. - The CEO regularly speaks to employees in a way that would not fly in any other workplace I’ve experienced. There is no sense of psychological safety. - Priorities shift constantly. Expectations are unclear, and direction is reactive rather than strategic. - There is no structured career path, meaningful mentorship, or long-term employee investment. - Work-life balance is a joke. Expect late-night messages, weekend demands, and zero respect for boundaries. - Experts are hired, then ignored. The CEO routinely inserts herself as the non-existent authority on everything, which stalls progress and demoralizes the people actually hired to do the work.
